You felt a small smile tug on a lips at the thought of THE Simon 'Ghost' Riley being jealous of the man who touched you.

Ghost moved faster and his commands, when he chose to speak, were sharper than usual. He took you to the car, opening your door waiting for you to get in. When you did he closed the door and walked over to his side, starting the engine and pulled out of the driveway. He pulled onto the highway, speeding down twords the safe house.

You saink into the seat, looking at the moon that replaced the sun as ghost focused on the road. You decided to open your mouth to speak but closed it soon after, trying to think of a way to bring up his tense behavior after the target was downed without him getting defensive. After a few minutes you looked over to the wheel, your eyes getting caught on the gas number.

"L.t, we need gas" you said softly, looking back at the window. He nodded and pulled into the nearest gas station.

He got out of the car and leand his head in with a sigh "Stay here" he popped his head back out, closing the door behind him and pulled a credit card out of his wallet. He selected the gas after putting the nozzle into the tank. He waited and kept his head on a swivle.

You looked at the window across from you, staring at ghost. You decided to get out to stretch your legs so you got out of the car. You did a few stretches, stretching your arms and legs before leaning on the car; looking at ghost.

He noticed you get out and lean on the car "it will only be a moment longer." He said stiffly, glancing at the numbers then back at you "the safe house isn't far from here. Just about an hour."

You nodded "I might take a nap" you said as your eyes searched across his mask, as if you need him to tell you that you can.

He nodded back "of corse. Do what you need. I'll wake you when we get there" he said as you get back into the car. He rubbed sanitizer onto his hands before getting back into the car and began to drive. As he pulled back onto the road you put the seat back and closed your eyes in attempt to fall asleep. But as always, your mind couldn't stop running in circles. Usually it's filled with the sounds of teammates yelling, gunfire, bombs, just the things you hear at work; but not this time. Not with him, ghost manages to silence them just by being in your presence. So you were just left with the comfortable silence between you and ghost.

~time skip~

Ghost tapped the steering wheel and turned onto a road, driving slowly before coming to a stop. He pulled into the garage of a quaint house then looked over at you for a moment before gentaly touching your shoulder "y/n."

You opened your eyes, squinting them at first before openingall the way; sure you were awake, but your eyes weren't used to the light just yet. You leaned up to look at him "are we here?" You quietly asked, knowing the answer is most likely yes

He nodded and got out of the car, walking to your side before opening the door and offering a hand to help you out. This made your cheeks heat up a bit, a small blush spreading across your face. Sure, he does small kind gestures like opening doors for you; but never in the 2-ish years of working with him has he offered to touch you when you weren't injured. You took his hand with a mumbled "thank you" before getting out of the car.

After you got out, he continued to hold your hand for a few moments while locking the car and walking twords the door. He immediately let go when he realized, happy that he had a mask to hide the blush across his face; however you weren't as fortunate, you looked away from him to hide yours but it was still obvious. You continued to walk inside, taking off your heels with a slight sigh. Ghost followed behind you, closing the door and locking it behind him.

Ghost stretched with a sigh, taking off his sports coat then unbuttoning his white shirt he wore underneath, exposing his chest to you which made your face turn bright red. He walked to the fridge and you followed as he grabbed a beer. You where studying his chest but looked away as soon as you realized you where staring, hopping he didn't notice.

He soon finished his beer and sat the empty bottle on the counter. He hummed and turned twords you, his eyebrows furrowed "you can't hide from me" he chuckled, seeming more relaxed.

You didn't respond; just moved your eyes to look at his, opening your mouth slighy but closing it immediately after, having nothing to say.

He chuckled once more with a nod, taking a step twords you and looking down at you. "No need to be nervous." He hummed, redirecting his steps from going twords you to the fridge as if he was teasing you in a way. He grabbed a second beer and cracked it open, taking a sip with a hum.

"I'm not nervous-" you mumbled, trying to collect yourself. "And could you get me a water?" You asked a bit louder than your last claim. He nodded and grabbed a water, handing it to you before closing the fridge.

"Thanks" you said with a nod before opening it, taking a sip. You would have gotten alcohol along with him, but you were slightly drunkened from drinking on the job and you didn't want to do anything stupid. Not with him. You took a long drink of the water before sitting it back down, putting the lid back on.

Ghost walked over to the stove before grabbing a pot and noodles and beginning to cook. He put on an apron and began to boil the noodles and start working on a sauce as you walk over to him, leaning on the counter next to the stove. "Whatchya making?" You asked, watching him cook with your head tilted slightly to the left.

He glanced over to you "Penne alavodka" he responded, finnishing working on the sauce and cooked some chicken to go in it, mixing everything together when he was finished "you hungry?" He asked

"Mhm" you hummed "it's been a long night" you grabbed some plates and forks, placing them on the table. A few moments later he came over to the table with the pan in one hand and a cold water in the other, setting them down before dumping food onto his plate. He sat down with a hum, bringing a glass if cold water to his lips now exposing from under his mask. You stared for a moment, this is the most you've seen of him. You quickly snapped out of it and dumped food onto your plate. He noticed you looking at him, which he didn't say anything; just chuckled quietly with a shake in the head.

You started to eat, taking a few bites "Thanks for the food, it's really good" you said, covering your mouth before continuing to eat, taking sips of water evrey few bites. Ghost on the other hand has already devoured his; he's used to eating fastly on the field. He leaned back into the chair with a sigh as you Finnish your plate and water, standing up and grabbing your plate and glass. You began to walk twords the kitchen but stopped mid way, turning twords ghost.

"I can take yours aswell, if your done" you said with a smile. He nodded "that would be nice, thank you. I'm going to take a shower. Let me know if anything happens, by any means nessasary" he said, giving you a firm look

"Alright L.t" you said, grabbing his stuff and taking it to the kitchen as he walks upstairs to take a shower. You hand Cleaned the dishes so his water wouldn't get cold before drying them off and putting them back into the cabinets.
